We ran Blue Nitrile on 865 in 2014 on a highly defensive 6wd robot because we heard how durable it was. On average the middle wheel would last 2-3 matches before it became a slick. Our outer wheels would last 4-6 matches. Changing tread was a pain requiring two people to rivet the tread to the alu performance wheel and the ziptie attachment method did not work at all. We had to buy a second set of wheels so we could swap the tread fast enough (good thing we were using a WCD). The traction was marginally better than a Colson when fresh IMO.

4/10 would not use again
